TAILOR-MADE TREKS For those who love trekking, Santo Antão is a total paradise. There are a number of combinations available and places to visit. Programmes can be arranged with varying degrees of difficulty and duration. A two-night stay will provide you with superficial knowledge of the island, but if you really want to get to know the island then you should think of staying for 4 or 5 nights. In this case we can arrange itineraries where clients leave their accommodation in the morning and go on foot to another location, where they will find their luggage in their next night’s accommodation.
